Lutheran Beliefs

At the simplest level, these three statements define what we believe:

• We are saved by the grace of God alone -- not by anything we do;

• Our salvation is through faith alone -- we only need to believe that our sins are forgiven for Christ's sake, who died to redeem us;

• The Bible is the only norm of doctrine and life -- the only true standard by which teachings and doctrines are to be judged.
